um, everybody here talks about the fiscal cliff that's coming due on january of next year. that is a big deal. if there aren't some changes in the law, there will be major tax hikes on businesses and households and big cutbacks in defense spending and some other areas of government spending. and, of course, we've also got a very important national election coming up, and there's a lot riding on that. president obama and governor romney have very different views about health care reform, tax policy and just the overall size and scope of government involvement in the economy. jenna: so certainly a lot of dynamics at play. we were having kind of a fun conversation before we got to air because your piece really sparked a lot of conversation about what rocky movie we're in, you know? are we in rocky iv or v where he's going bankrupt, or are we at the end where he's starting to own an italian restaurant? what rocky movie are we in right now, professor? >> well, as i recall it, in almost every rocky movie, there was a dramatic fight where he got knocked down several times before h
